Reading the "Handshake" Body Language
Your Handshake Can either Make or Break You

Wouldn't it be amazing if you can accurately predict
other people's emotions, state or mood every time you're
shaking their hands?

Would you like to know how to properly shake hands in
specific situations for maximum success?

Then listen closely. I'll show you what certain
handshakes mean and what you can do to give a memorable
handshake.

A person who is confident or exhibits power gives a firm
handshake (palms pointing downwards in most cases).

Someone who is nervous, tensed or shy gives a wilted
handshake (palms pointing upwards in most cases).

Now here are some wonderful tips to give an excellent
handshake that makes people trust, respect or like you.

1) Smile while shaking hands, but don't smile for too
long because it might give the perception that you're
gullible or not too smart.

2) Make eye contact for around 3 seconds while shaking
hands. Don't look too intensely nor too long into their
eyes.

3) If you're sitting down, stand up to show respect when
shaking hands (except in special cases like when you're
eating). Remaining sited while shaking hands may give the
impression that you're not interested in the other party,
and will probably offend them.

4) If you have sweaty hands, wipe out the sweat with a
napkin or handkerchief before shaking hands.

5) Extend your arm outward to show them your enthusiasm
and confidence.

6) Your palm should come in contact with their palm. This
conveys openness and sincerity, and proves that you're not
hiding anything.
